Drawing the Line
Knowing when to grin and bear it, and knowing when to draw the line is an art most of us don't master. This important skill affects us in many areas of life, and largely affects our religious lives. Consider what is a reasonable level of politeness, and when it is time to get away from somebody just being a religious bully. Learn effective, yet polite ways of dealing with these situations.
Religion & Zealous Coworkers
Dealing with religious issues in the workplace requires careful skill, especially when deciding how to handle over-zealous coworker issues. Before taking any action, have a clear picture what your goal is. Will you likely have to deal with this person every day? Would you like this person to keep his or her job? Realize that many issues can be solved with a polite, yet firm, conversation before taking more drastic action; and choose your major battles wisely. Remember to keep a log of the behavior, your goals, and the actions you take.
Know Your Biases - Strive to Be Fair
Consider how your opinions affect interactions with others. Do you favor people in your workplace who share your point of view? Do you listen and try to learn about others, or only try to persuade people to your point of view? Fair interaction does not require an empty brain with no opinions; it requires a genuine respect of those who differ.
Know Your Biases
When someone claims his or her opinions regarding religion are unbiased, they are either being foolish or deceptive. Consider you own biases; then strive to understand how they affect your opinions and judgments. Understanding oneself is the first step towards understanding others.
